About the trip

Goa is India's best-loved beach state, with Portuguese churches, spice farms, markets and a relaxed pace. From Mangalore the drive follows the Konkan coastline, one of the prettiest road trips in the south, with river crossings, beaches and temple towns along the way. Travellers often stop at Udupi, Murudeshwar or Gokarna and spend a few days in Goa itself.
